Property Details
Steeped in history and timeless elegance, "The Oak" at 144 Wentworth Street is a landmark residence built in 1938 as the Mayoral residence when Blackheath stood proudly as its own municipality. This distinguished double-brick home is on the market for the first time in 42 years; a rare offering that beautifully preserves its heritage while delivering generous space and comfort.
From the outset, this historic home captivates with its classic architectural features - graceful bay and sash windows, a welcoming and wide wrap-around verandah, and a striking stained-glass entry. Venture inside to soaring ceilings that enhance the sense of grandeur, complemented by beautiful ornate cornice and ceiling details, elegant picture rails, and stunning original timber floors that flow throughout. High French doors invite natural light and create seamless connections between the home's generous living spaces.
Two large, splendid open fireplaces create warm, inviting focal points complemented by hydronic central heating, ensuring comfort across the seasons especially during the crisp, cold winters of the upper Blue Mountains.
Designed for both family living and refined entertaining, this stately home offers five bedrooms (including the two maid's quarters), two bathrooms, and multiple living areas, including two generous living rooms, a light-filled sunroom, and a delightful conservatory overlooking picturesque gardens. There are just so many wonderful spaces to rest, unwind and enjoy life's simple pleasures, each with their own unique, idyllic features.
Set amidst established, mature gardens, the expansive half acre grounds are equally enchanting, featuring a wonderful mix of cool climate trees, shrubs and open lawn areas with a stunning original fountain that adds to the property's sense of history and tranquillity. Rear lane access to the double garage and just minutes walk to Blackheath town centre, station and schools provides additional convenience and flexibility.
Rich in story and abundant in character, "The Oak" is more than a home - it is a piece of local heritage, offering a rare opportunity to own an iconic residence in one of the Blue Mountains' most cherished streetscapes.
